To limit the size of hardware tab columns, type consecutive
asterisks between columns to define hardware tab
fields. The consecutive asterisks:
This procedure works only with asterisks (hardware tabs). When you type hyphens or underscores (software tabs), PDF does not insert attribute bytes. Because attribute bytes cannot be typed over, they limit the tab column size. Insert the asterisks from the point where you want the column to end to the point where the next column begins. For instance, suppose you want to limit each tab column to five spaces. You could do so by following these steps:
With the =TABS> line altered as shown, the cursor automatically skips to the next tab column when 5 characters, blank spaces, or a combination of both are typed in each column. |
